Today, I had my final piano performance. There is a guy in my class who constantly tells me I suck at piano, so I was looking forward to watching him play badly since he never practices. Instead, he played the most beautiful music that would make Mozart weep. He got a standing ovation. FML

An an actual pianist/keyboardist, any sentence that begins with "I tried to impress..." is an automatic YDI for me. You sure as shit played, alright. Played yourself.
